Chapter 164 "Whole Fish Feast"
In the evening, the villagers went to the river to fetch water and buried pots for cooking.
Several yamen servants were amazed as they drank the tasteless chrysanthemum water handed over by Yan Lao Er.
"Your method of burying the pot is exactly the same as in the army. Who did you learn from?"
Yan's second brother thought of his brother, but turned a corner when he got to his mouth: "It was passed down from the older generation, who knows which one it is."
The older yamen servant said: "This method will work when the weather is warm. When it is freezing here, you won't be able to dig the soil."
Several yamen servants laughed.
It seems to have heard some great joke.
Yan’s second child: …
We are not stupid.
"It will take another day to measure the land. We will go to Xiqiao Town to rest at night." The yamen servant said.
Yan's second son kept people: "We dealt with it at noon, so why are we having a serious meal here tonight."
Several yamen servants smiled and shook their heads, no matter what they said they would not stay and insisted on leaving.
A group of disaster victims who are eating relief food, they have the nerve to rub off on other people's food.
"Yan Er, do you use bricks to build your house?"
Yan Er: "Use it! Zhengchou has no way out, my brother can show me."
"Haha, let's talk about it, our Huju's quarry, you really can't buy it without an acquaintance's introduction. The old man has been watching the six repairing side walls of the first place in the past few years, and every stone is pulled out one by one. Not much.
However, there is no whole piece, and the chiseled waste can still be sold in private. It is cheaper than using bricks. There is a brick-fired house next to the West Bridge, and there are not many bricks. If you want to order it, you have to call early. call. "
"Okay, I'll go tomorrow morning." Second Yan said.
"Just say that it was introduced by Kuaiban Lao Li."
"Thank you bro."
The servants pointed out to him the location of the quarry and the brick factory, and he rode away.
Yan Er Er saw off the servants and ran back to cook.
He sincerely kept those yamen servants to eat, but they didn't eat them.
The fish that Qi Si helped to net in the river were all cleaned up by Qi's sister-in-law... well, let's make a "full fish feast" today.
Two braised in brown sauce, one steamed and stewed in soup.
As soon as the fragrant rice comes out of the pot, the stomach that has been mixed is beating.
Steamed river fish is the fastest. The body of the fish is cut with a knife, marinated for half an hour, stuffed with wild **** slices in the belly of the fish, cut some dried wild onions, and steamed for half an hour.
The wild **** in the stomach is not easy to waste, so continue to shred it and sprinkle it on the fish.
Old Yan only has soy sauce in his second hand, so he pours a little bit of it on, and the hot oil is boiled on the shredded green onion and ginger.
For the remaining oil here, put the two fishes that have been cut with a knife and wiped with salt, one by one into the pan, and fry on both sides.
Dried wild **** and wild onion continued to appear on the stage. What Yan Laoer felt was that he had no garlic on hand...
I have to say, this is a pity for the two braised fish.
Once the soy sauce and vinegar are poured in, the color of the fish becomes more attractive, and the smell of vinegar is quite domineering, and it floats far away, causing people around to look here.
Pour water over the fish.
After the water boiled, Yan Lao Er didn't turn down the fire, but continued to cook the soup.
There is no rush, his brother, his wife and three children are all sitting around the small square table in his house, waiting eagerly.
At this point, the last fish that has been cared for by salt and pepper, is marinated, washed again, and set aside to dry.
During the waiting time, Yan Lao Er sprinkled salt on the two braised fish, quickly turned them over, so that the soup soaked the fish more evenly, and after a while, the two braised fish together came out of the pot with a full body aroma.
The thick juice in the pot is poured over the fish.
Together with the steamed fish, it was placed on Yan's small dining table.
Yan Yu served everyone a meal.
Honestly continue to wait.
Yan Laoer has finished washing the pot, wiped it clean, and started frying fish.
After both sides are golden, turn the water to high and turn to low heat.
After he also squeezed into the dining table, Old Yan said lightly: "Eat."
The whole family was starving for a long time, Yan Yu's face was buried in the bowl, and the chopsticks jumped flexibly between the steamed fish and braised fish.
The latter is more favored by her.
Give her uncle more food, her father more food, her mother more food...
This is for Yan Yu's work, and by the way, he also added food for himself.
Big Brother and Big Sister didn’t use her, so they refilled their own bowls.
When the rice is cooking, time goes by very fast, and the fish soup is ready after a while.
The milky white fish soup filled the last gap in their stomachs.
There is no one left to kill four fish extravagantly with one meal.
The little dog moved forward aimlessly, sniffing his nose.
Ms. Cui pinched her waist with her eyes straight, and the big dog quickly dragged his embarrassing brother back.
Cui Langzhong chewed the jerky carefully, took another mouthful of porridge, and nodded.
Miss Cui thought that his food was delicious, so she didn’t want to come close and hear him talking to himself:
"Fish soup is good, Yan Er Nasi can make it."
He thought that Yan Er was just like that when he looked at him, he had a playful smile all day long, and he was kind enough to hurt others, and he made arrangements for his wife's food in a different way.
Ms. Cui misunderstood, thinking that he disliked her to save trouble, so she only made porridge.
"I'm still not satisfied with eating jerky for you, you're crazy!" She snatched the remaining jerky from Cui Langzhong's hand, stuffed it into her mouth in a big mouthful, chewed hard without spitting it out, puffing her cheeks for a long time just swallowed...
Cui Langzhong: …
What's wrong with this? !
But Mrs. Cui is a typical knife-mouthed bean curd heart, so she waited for Yan's family to finish their meals, and she had the cheek to bring the jerky to discuss with Yan Er for some fish soup.
Yan Er: "What should I change? There is still half the pot left. Which one of our sisters will be with the other, sister, hurry up and take it."
The siblings gave way for a long time, and finally Yan's second child won and poured a big bowl for Cui's family.
The leftovers were distributed to the Qi family and Luo family on the left and right.
Ms. Cui turned around and sent a piece of **** over.
Mrs. Qi stuffed Li Xuemei with two wild duck eggs from the reed beach by the river the next day.
…
Yan Laoer asked other people, except his family, everyone wanted to save some money and build an earthen house for the winter.
After calculation, the money in the hands of each family is enough to deserve a brick house, but when the house is built, several taels of money will be lost, and they are always frugal.
On the contrary, it was the Qi family who had always lived a tight life, and this time they made a big effort to match the Yan family.
I also plan to order some bricks and stones to build a house.
The three brothers discussed quickly.
The old lady of the Qi family didn't speak a word the whole time, just listening to her three stupid sons make the fastest decision in the stupidest way.
Qi Dao: "Yan Er said we have to grow vegetables quickly."
Qi Wudao: "We have to find good wood to put beams on the house, and Brother Yan's family also has to use it."
Qi Si thought about it very seriously, and said: "It takes a few days for us to smash the adobe. We are busy here and don't care about the other side. We should build the house quickly, so that we can work with Brother Yan at ease."
These words touched Qi Da and Qi Wu's hearts.
Smashing adobes is not a problem for them, but there is no time. If Yan Er wants to do something, what can they do if they can’t get out of the house? Isn’t it delaying Yan Er’s business.
After the three brothers thought it over, they asked the old lady for the money.
Mrs. Qi is very pleased.
If her three silly sons know everything and follow Yan Erxue in the future, she will have nothing to worry about.
Death can smile and close your eyes.
The cover, I spent two days to customize it for the time being, if you don’t like it, you can change it back~
In fact, I am not embarrassed, haha, I use the same method as others to prove that we are all aesthetics of the public, and I am not alone~
However, in my heart, I still hope to expand the readership. What if I change the cover to attract a large number of new readers? (*▽*)(*▽*)(*▽*)
