Chapter 1015: The Lazy and Bad Sister-in-law of a Blessed Farm Girl (10)
The head of a large grass carp is stewed in tofu; the fish body is cut into two, and half is salted for tomorrow; half is cut into fillets to make pickled fish.
Before the separation, she had eaten pickled sauerkraut made by Mr. Cui. The taste was not good, but at least it showed that eating sauerkraut was popular in this area.
Scrape off the scales, remove the internal organs of the small fish and wash them thoroughly.
Find a container to put the fish scales and internal organs, and then go back to fertilize them.
Xi grouper has few spines and can be braised in braised or braised sauce. However, if we have pickled fish, we braise it in braised sauce;
The other two types of fish have thin flesh and many thorns, so they are suitable for being coated in flour and deep-fried. They will be crispy and the bones can be chewed, making them particularly fragrant.
But this was too wasteful, so I salted and dried the small fish and saved them for later eating.
That night, we had fish head tofu pot, pickled fish, and braised creek grouper, which were quite sumptuous.
"Have you washed your little hands? Then why are you still standing? Sit down and eat! There are no chairs at home, only old tree stump stools. Don't mind."
Xu Yin greeted the three children.
“Come on, Goudan, hand out chopsticks to your little friend.”
Xu Yin handed Goudan three pairs of bamboo chopsticks she had cut herself.
Goudan swallowed, looked away from the sumptuous dishes, and carefully divided his chopsticks.
Tiewa and Huzi swept away their usual joy and sat down solemnly.
Xu Yin had already served them rice, and also brought a few empty bowls. She gave each of them a bowl of fish head and tofu soup, and put some pickled fish fillets on their rice: "Eat quickly! The fish is cold. It smells fishy."
“Thank you, aunt in the lobby.” This is a dog egg.
“Thank you, Aunt Erya.” This is Tiewa and Huzi.
Xu Yin: “…”
What the **** is Aunt Erya?
“Just call me Aunt Yinyin from now on.”
Xu Yin corrected them.
By the way, she is only sixteen now. Isn’t it a bit inferior to be called aunt by a six or seven-year-old Zaizai?
But think about her soul age...forget it, she is a Buddha, she can call her whatever she likes, the title is just a code name!
“Auntie, the food you cook is so delicious!”
“This is the best dish I’ve ever eaten!”
“Fish and sauerkraut stewed together turns out to be so delicious!”
“I’ll let my mother stew it like this later.”
“Then you have to catch such a big fish!”
“Small fish are also delicious, and everything cooked by Aunt Yinyin is delicious!”
“Yes! It’s delicious!”
The three children were eating and praising it, shaking their heads and looking very cute.
Xu Yin listened to the children's rainbow farts and felt very satisfied. In terms of delicacy, it really comes down to fish that have lived in a pure natural environment for a long time!
After having eaten and drank enough, the three children helped Xu Yin pack the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen. They also rushed to fetch water, wash the dishes, and wipe the table. They were very diligent.
Tiewa rubbed her overstuffed belly and said shamefully, "Aunt Yinyin, I ate too much."
With her body, she is truly a big eater! Sad!
"Aunt Yinyin, do you like tofu very much?" Huzi asked shyly. He found that Xu Yin drank several bowls of tofu soup. Compared with fish, tofu was much cheaper, so he thought about sending another piece of tofu to Aunt Yinyin tomorrow. This time he would not charge for it!
"Okay!" Xu Yin did not refuse. Although the tofu made by the Wang family is brine, it is relatively tender and she quite likes it. "But I have to go to the mountain tomorrow. If your family grinds the tofu, give it to me." Leave a piece and I’ll pick it up when I get back.”
"Lobby Aunt, what are you doing up the mountain tomorrow? Collecting firewood? I'll help you pick it up." Goudan said his mother's advice and puffed up his chest, "I know where there is ready firewood to collect, Lobby Aunt, I'll take it with you. you go."
That place, except for the Iron Triangle friends, he didn’t tell anyone else!
Xu Yin smiled and touched his head: "Thank you Goudan, but I am not going to collect firewood tomorrow. There is still enough firewood. I am going to find the seeds of a plant called castor bean. It looks like this. Have you seen it?" ?”
As she spoke, she took out a few castor beans. The shells of the castor beans were thorny. She peeled off the thorny shells to reveal the yellow-brown kernels inside.
Thinking that they often travel up the mountains and rivers, they may have picked these small prickly cones out of curiosity.
However, after Goudan and the other three recognized it, they all shook their heads: “I’ve never seen this before.”
Xu Yin was not disappointed and said, "It's okay, I'll look for it myself."
“Aunt Yinyin, let’s look for it together with you!”
“Yes! Let’s look for it together. There is strength in numbers!”
The three of them insisted on accompanying Xu Yin to find castor beans. They made an appointment to come early tomorrow and ran home in a hurry.
The next day, just as Xu Yin was preparing his belongings for going up the mountain, he heard the voices of Goudan and the others outside the courtyard.
"You're here very early! Have you eaten?" Xu Yin handed the three of them a cereal bag.
She took the time to steam a lot of these kinds of steamed buns, including those made with grains, wild vegetables, and dates and walnuts.
But she didn’t take out the latter yet, and would eat it at noon.
“Auntie, we’ve already eaten.” Goudan took out an egg and handed it to Xu Yin, “My mother specially cooked it and gave it to Auntie.”
Goudan Niang heard yesterday that Goudan came back and told Xu Yin that dinner was both fish and rice. Thinking about it cost Xu Yin a lot, so she got up specially this morning and boiled an egg for Goudan to bring over.
Tiewa and Huzi also brought her things.
"Aunt Yinyin, this is the mung bean cake that my uncle brought back from the town. My mother hid it and was reluctant to give it to us. I am finally generous today. Please try it!"
“Aunt Yinyin, this is the pickle pancake made by my mother herself. Eat it while it’s hot!”
Xu Yin had cooked a small stove for herself in the morning. She couldn't eat so much food, but she didn't refuse. She put it away with a smile and said, "Go back and thank your mother and grandma for me. I accepted it the first time. Next time Don't be so polite!"
Seeing that she accepted it, the three little guys felt relieved and tasted the steamed buns Xu Yin gave them.
“Aunt Yinyin, the steamed buns you make are so delicious!”
“It’s much more delicious than what my mother makes!”
“Everything my aunt makes is delicious!”
Xu Yin held back her laughter, she is so good at blowing rainbow farts!
But it’s not all bad. When she kneaded the coarse dough, she mixed in some white flour. The dough became pliable and soft, and it didn’t cut the throat so much.
The first and third children carried their own baskets on their backs, which contained hemp ropes for bundling firewood and other household items, and went up the mountain talking and laughing.
Cui Qiaoqiao, who was about to go up the mountain, looked at their backs, surprised and afraid: Could Mrs. Xu want to sell some of the dog eggs?
In this life, she persuaded her mother to split up the family before fate turned. Mrs. Xu couldn't find a chance to sell her, so she took up the idea of a village child?
The more Cui Qiaoqiao thought about it, the more panicked she became. How could she still think about going up the mountain? So she turned around and went straight to Goudan's house to report the news.
Xu Yin took the three little guys all the way up the mountain.
They often come to the mountains to dig wild vegetables, collect firewood, and dig out bird eggs. This road is very familiar to them.
